Did you know?

Sweet potato is a vegetable with many outstanding qualities, including its bright colour, sweet flavour and nutritional value. For example, a single serving of sweet potato meets your body’s total daily requirement for Vitamin A. This extremely versatile vitamin helps in the healthy development of bones and teeth, helps us see better in the dark, helps maintain our skin in healthy condition and also protects against infection.

Pantothenic acid, also known as Vitamin B5, helps transform food into energy.

Chef's tips

Sweet potatoes are prepared and cooked like regular potatoes. Their sweet flavour is particularly delicious in purées,potages, soups and stews. And thanks to their bright orange colour, they’ll make any dish look pretty!

Cumin, coriander, coconut milk, lime and ginger make a terrific combination with the gentle, honeyed flavour of sweet potatoes.

Use sweet potatoes to make exquisite oven-baked French fries – a treat for young and old. Cut sweet potatoes into thin strips, baste them with oil and your favourite herbs...and into they go! For the most flavour and nutrients (including Vitamins A, B6 and C, plus copper and manganese), keep the skins on.

Sweet potatoes also make a perfect ingredient in cakes, cookies, puddings and other desserts.
